Hi all,

I have in project to write a driver for the mplay module (mine is the one in 
HD135 Zalman case) and i want to know if anybody is interesting in helping me 
to write or test it.

The module is compose with a 20x2 vfd display, a remote controle, 2 fans and 2 
thermo sensors.

The vfd is compatible with the LIS2 driver exept that we need to modify the 
baud rate. I actualy use this hack but I'm not fully satisfy and my goal is 
to write a driver that enable all the features of the module (backligth 
control, modificable font, remote control (with lirc), fan control and 
thermal sensor) . I actualy have all the information that i'm need about the 
protocol but i don't really know where to start for the rest, if you have any 
ideas about possible driver architecture or advise, this will be welcome.

Thanks,

regards, Ben.
